A while ago I started a thread asking what a rather rampant, but ornamental plant was in my garden? General consensus was that it was a Japanese Wineberry? but at the time it hadn't fruited. Well now it's fruited, and I have been eating some so I hope you're right about what it is. 
Hard to describe the taste? It looks like a raspberry but has a more delicate taste. On reading up, someone likened the taste to that of sweet grapes, and I think I agree with them.
I will certainly keep the plant for it's novelty value (no idea where it came from) and maybe try and train it against the fence. I think it's 'berry' (sic) ornamental with the reddish bracts around the fruit standing out against the lime green/yellowsih foliage.
I've added a piccie below of it, as it's fruiting now.
